Summary:

Key minerals, including zircon, apatite, titanite, rutile, monazite, xenotime, allanite and garnet, can retain critical information about petrogenetic and geodynamic processes. This edited volume showcases snapshots of the latest developments using key minerals in igneous, metamorphic and detrital rocks through current-state reviews, contributions focused on case studies and newly developed techniques.
